The speaker describes a possible outcome in which AIs become capable and aligned enough before it is too late to recursively produce more aligned AIs that follow the intended specification.

“enough and aligned enough that they get a positive and virtuous feedback loop and this happens before it's too late and then the situation goes off like gets gets back on the rails where the ais are now like making more aligned ais making more aligned ais making more aligned ais and then at the end of this process we have ais that like actually follow the spec we wanted”
